Second Round of Interviewees

Thanks to your support we reached over $3800 in contributions yesterday! We’re very excited about the possibility of reaching our first fundraising goal of $5000. In the meantime we’ve been too busy conducting video interviews to videoblog ourselves. Rest assured more videoblog updates will be on their way in the coming days. Here’s the list of our second round of interviewees:
